BrandTailors brings Ambasador back

Bucharest - October 25th, 201 1

Andreea Florea Brand Strategy Coordinator
BrandTailors finalized the restoration program of Ambasadors visual identity and package design, program meant to reassert and strengthen the brands positioning within the current Romanian chocolate market. Ambasador enjoys a high level of trust amidst its consumers, but, although having been found in Kandia Dulces portfolio for decades, the brand disappeared from the retail shelves, requiring its being brought back into contemporariness, according to current market desiderata. A comprehensive brand analysis contextualized by the competitive landscape revealed that Ambasadors visual identity and package design restoration entails its being founded on the brands pre-existing essential components its masculine personality and the perception of its premium character, encapsulated within the aspirational nature of the brand name. Thus, Ambasadors new visual identity, based on a color selection of white, blue and golden tones, highlights the brands perceived quality and preciousness and secures a natural connection with Kandia, the endorser brand. Built on a white background and contrasting brand imagery color codes, the new package design further enhances Ambasadors visual impact.

The purpose of the new package design is to highlight the distinctive features that define Ambasador as an iconic brand. The clear graphics and the color complementariness between the visual identity and the product imagery are the constituent elements that give Ambasador superior shelf stand-out, bringing it forth into contemporariness.
